So for all my friends that have sent me messages of the last few day and I have not replied I AM SORRY. Since 4/11 I have been on a downward spiral. My pain level have been through the roof. I can't think. I can't seem to get anything done. I come to work and blankly look at my computer screen. This morning I woke with the feeling of a brick on my chest. I have had leg, back, arms, shoulder and neck pain but never the chest before. I almost felt like I could not breath. I did not get up for a while. My wonderful hubby got all three girls up and out of the house for school. I did make it to work an hour late. Only because today is the 15th and we had a 9:30 appointment with our accountant. Oh, how I love tax day. (NOT REALLY). I go back to the doctor on Friday. I really need something to help me sleep. I am so tired during the day I can't hardly keep my eyes open. I am fighting the IBS. I thought I was doing good and maybe getting it under control. NOT SO LUCKY. I had a bad spell today. I am heading home from work. I just can't take any more fun for today. Again I am sorry if I have not replied to any messages. I will try to do better.
Sarah I am so sorry that you are having such a flare. It sounds like that mack truck has hit you big time bad.. I think all the stress has started to catch up with you from the court junk you have been going thru - I know me telling you to try and relax is like someone trying to tell me to try and relax - thats a big lol lol - - but the worst thing for you or any one with Fibro and IBS (which usually acompanies Fibro) is stress.. It also sounds like you could have some Chronic Fatigue Syndrome going on too.. I had a doctor tell me once that you usually have that with Fibro, but people with CFS usually don't have Fibro.. Go figure.. I hope you start feeling better, write when you get a chance.. Love and Hugs

I had thought about the CFS. I was planning to ask the doctor on Friday. Great, one more thing to add to my list. "try and relax", when pigs fly! I work full time, have three girls 17, 13 & 7, A 52 year old sister in law in a nursing home that I go see at least once a week. A mother in law that has been sick and we are getting ready to add her two dogs to our house (for a while) of one dog and two cats. Am I crazy or what.

Sarah, I am so sorry for your pain. I too am in the midst of an awful flare. I have had some problems trying to keep up due to this so please forgive me for not reading your journal sooner. I am praying now for your health and well being. I have some info on chronic myofacsial pain I would love to send you. I think it might help you. I would need an email address from you. I wish DS would set it up so we could send links and pages from this site.
Do not worry about not replying. We all have times when our health gets us down.
Feel better soon.
Big Hugs,
Rhonda
